1. Your Family Doctor:
If you think that may be suffering from an anxiety disorder, make an appointment with your family doctor. At the beginning of your visit, ask your family doctor if you might be suffering from an anxiety disorder. If your family doctor thinks that you are suffering from an anxiety disorder, he/she will give you advice about what to do. If your family doctor needs a second opinion about your illness, he or she may send you to a psychiatrist, a specialist in this area of medicine.

3. Local Hospital Emergency Room

If you are seriously thinking about ending your own life, you must see a doctor right away. You may go to your local hospital emergency room if you can't see your family doctor right away. If your relative is talking about killing himself or herself, you can call their family doctor or the hospital emergency room. They will give you advice about what to do.
